ROCHESTER, Minn. – The public is invited to an open house Wednesday, May 2 in Zumbro Falls to learn more about the Highway 63 paving project between Rochester and Zumbro Falls, which begins next month, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

Representatives of MnDOT and Croell, Inc., the MnDOT construction contractor, will be available to answer questions and provide information from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Zumbro Falls City Hall, which is adjacent to the community’s fire station.

Croell, Inc., the New Hampton, Iowa prime contractor, will begin construction on May 7. The highway will be resurfaced with concrete and culverts will be replaced.
